Electronic apparatus

Abstract

An electronic apparatus is provided which prevents, when timer programming is set, continuation of a state in which an outside power supply is stopped. A power supply section 21 converts a power supply from outside to a waveform (direct current) and a voltage to be used inside. When power is supplied to the power supply section 21, a standby power supply section 22 is charged. An alarm section 28 outputs an alarm to the user. A control section 29 controls a whole electronic apparatus 20 and includes a clock section which counts a date and time and a memory section which stores timer programming information. A SW3 (32) is the switch which turns ON/OFF the power supply to the alarm section 28, is normally set to OFF, but the control section 29 turns ON this switch when outputting an alarm.

Description

[0001] The present application is based on and claims priority of Japanese patent application No. 2005-312502 filed on Oct. 27, 2005, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus which supplies power from a built-in standby power supply section when a power supply from outside stops, and more particularly, to a recording apparatus provided with an inner clock and a timer programming function which protects timer programmed contents by supplying power from a standby power supply section when the power supply from outside is stopped due to a power failure or coming-off of a power supply plug or the like. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] In recent years, there is a growing demand for energy saving and while the development of electronic apparatuses with low power consumption and small standby electric power is underway, users ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] According to the electronic apparatus according to the third aspect of the present invention, an alarm is output for the predetermined time C at the longest, and therefore it is possible to prevent an alarm from being output continuously for all time.

[0015] According to the present invention, if timer programming h

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, there is a growing danger that even when timer programming is set, the power supply to the electronic apparatus may be stopped and timer programming may not be executed.

Moreover, even when a power supply stops due to a power failure or the like and power can no longer be supplied from the power supply section, power is supplied from a built-in standby power supply section to parts necessary to control the electr
